Mold Removal Guelph

The homeowner thought the trail of brown water and the peeling plaster on the old basement ceiling directly below the kitchen could just be repainted, even after seeing all of the damaged areas from the leaking pipe.

Unfortunately, delaminating plaster that has been stained with mold cannot be sealed over and be expected to last.

After the leak was repaired, we removed as much as possible by hand, used HEPA air scrubbers for cleaning, and replaced the damaged areas of the ceiling.

Since all of the sound adjacent building materials were intact, we did not have to rebuild the entire ceiling.

The turquoise tiles behind the radiator had turned black while there was no visible water in the bathroom. The homeowner thought this might be caused by old grout; however, the radiator barely heated the exterior wall.

Therefore, we suggested checking for flow within the hydronic loop prior to replacing the tiles.

A local HVAC technician restored proper flow of hot water through the loop, and we then cleaned and treated all affected grouted areas beneath the red shelving units.

Now that the heating system is once again providing adequate heat to that area of the house, the area will most likely dry out rather than hold moisture.
